Love Nails and Chickadee

Sunday, February 12, 2012

Good evening, dear readers!

Another Valentine's Day manicure (it says "LOVE" in calligraphy, but it is kinda hard to see it... :S)

I started with China Glaze Innocence, and sponged two frankens on the tips (Shamrock (by my sister) and Fangorn Forest (by me). I also smushed some light yellow-green glitter on the tips, then added another coat of Innocence. I then added a coat of Essie As Gold as it Gets.

I used acrylic paint for the decorations. I did the thumb rose first, and was pleased with the results. Then I started painting the other 4 roses and I didn't like them so much... I should have done what I did with the first rose and used a reference photo. Ah well. So I decided to cover the other roses up with calligraphy, but that didn't work out as neatly as I would have liked. Oh well! ^-^ Then I added some dots on the thumb nail, and of course there were a lot of top coat layers between the stages of nail art (partially so I could take a break and go back to sleep, lol!).

Oh! Yesterday I went out to a nature trail with my sister and dad, and we fed a bunch of chickadees. :D Here is a really cute one that I was feeding:

I love chickadees too! I have a feeder in my backyard so I can watch them! How cool that it ate out of your hand! I love calligraphy used to do it all the time. I should really get back into that! These are amazing!
